new video gun & shots showing how Benazir Bhutto was assassinated
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 05:29 PM by ElsewheresDaughter
New film has emerged showing the moment Benazir Bhutto was assassinated.

Benazir Bhutto's Spokeswoman say's she saw a gaping wound in Bhutto's neck which was delivered by a bullet from a 'Trained Assassin'

Al-Qeada Militant Claims Musharraf To Blame For Bhutto Killing

As theories and counter-theories multiply over who killed Benazir Bhutto, an al Qaeda-linked Pakistani militant has denied any involvement in her death.

The government says Baitullah Mehsud was behind the assassination of the former prime minister as she left an election rally.

But, as a video was released showing the last moments in the opposition leader's life, a spokesman for the accused militant claimed she was in fact a victim of President Musharraf's own security apparatus.

It is a conspiracy theory that many Pakistanis are willing to believe.

Security forces are on the streets after civil unrest following Thursday's killing left more than 30 people dead. Life however is far from back to normal and many shops are shut.

In this atmosphere, it is still unclear whether elections due on January 8 can realistically go ahead.

With Benazir Bhutto now laid to rest, confusion remains over how she died.

Pakistan's Interior Ministry says the force of the blast from a suicide bomber smashed her head into the sun-roof of her car. But political collagues of the assassinated opposition figure maintain she died from bullet wounds.

1. Really?
It wasn't just natural causes?
Not trying to be nasty but perhaps your title should say HOW rather than THAT.

2. This footage is so much clearer and audio-enhanced than
the previously posted version I have seen.

Some folks said the assassin probably missed hitting her--but I ask, from that distance? How could he miss her from a distance of what looks to be several feet? Listen to the report of those shots.

What amazes me is the impugnity with which the Pakistani government is lying. Don't they know that this event was photographed and witnessed by a myriad of people.

4. Raises hand, and reality check
yes, you can miss at that distance... if you go to the range you will quickly realize why.

That said... whether she was hit by the ammo going down range or not, the fact that the footage has emerged has put a lie to the "official version."

7. A good reason to have 2 shooters, and a bomb as backup.
Somewhere I read that someone saw two shooters, though they were near each other, not spaced out.

It seems as though most people in Pakistan think she was hit by bullets.
